I have taken almost all of Gavin’s masters lessons, but need practice to reinforce what I have learned (Oh, if I only had a memory like my wonderful wife).

We now have the new players we are looking for. No additional can be accommodated at this time. Tks
We are an online study group of four looking to expand by one or two. We are intermediate players (400 to 1400 MP) that are working through the advanced Wolpert series together. We have completed courses on NT and 2/1. Up next is 2-way new minor forcing to be followed by Major Suit Response Structure. In a two week period, we will review the Wolpert lecture on the subject and have four (45 minute) practice sessions on the current subject or a review subject – Lebensohl anyone? In addition to “cheat” sheets we have a data bank of over 1000 practice boards on BBO categorized by subject. When practicing, you will have audio connection via a zoom link. We play as a team in Swiss team competitions in addition to partnering with one another in pairs games. We are not critical of one another and provide a “safe” learning environment. Mistakes happen, laugh when they happen, learn from them and move on is our modus operendi. Some of us are into self flaggelation and have wet noodles handy for that purpose. If this group is of interest to you, make contact with me – Doba400 – on BBO. P.S. We do not supply noodles – bring your own.

Looking for partner (s) for Gaven's duplicate Tuesday afternoon games thru March. Yesterday, Tuesday, my regular partner was available & we achieved 59+%. I think I play a solid game, compatible with many partners. If it matters, I have 1700+ mp. My bbo name is gudoc39, reside in Dallas suburbs.
Hi Jerry, I am a Bronze LM and teach and direct. Play 2/1 with most gadgets. Think I had a 52% game last week, but partner missed a few bids. Love to give it a try with you if you're game. My ID is robv2 on BBO. Loved the recap from last week and learned some good things.
Let's try playing this Tuesday. My bbo username is gudoc39. Do you want to contact me thru the partnership desk? Then we could discuss cc, etc.
I need a partner. I would tell you to contact me on bbo at Iampenny but I have trouble finding such responses. Please email me at penny.mintz@gmail.com
Hi All, am looking to develop partnerships to practice Gavin's Advanced and Master Series. Due to location and time differences, prefer playing on BBO. My BBO username is: prithiraj
It would help greatly to know which country you reside in for others to reply.
Australia, I can play Eastern Time afternoons, that is early morning for me.
Hi I am broom2, we can share contact information on BBO if you want to practice. I study daily and am sticking to Gavin’s CC
Hi Sheila, what would be the best times to arrange practice sessions?
Check your email on BBO I will give you my email and cell. Wednesday is a good day for practicing I can set up a practice with robots, if others care to join us, that works too
I'd love to practice and possibly play with you too. I have dragged my partner as far as she is willing to go with some of Gavin's systems. She told me I need to find a Gavin-ite to play with. I live in the Midwest, and can practice most afternoons, or evenings. I learned to play several months before the pandemic, but then really increased my knowledge by taking over 100 classes in 2020 from Gavin, Rob and some Larry Cohen. I like to practice the new stuff, before I put it on my card. There may be a class I didn't take because I knew my partner wouldn't do it, but I'd be happy to take it and learn it. I do most of the Advanced & Intermediate stuff. My BBO name is KCNancy05. That is a zero in the name.
Nancy, I live in Lincoln Nebraska and am also a Gavanite. Would you like to partner with me in his BBO tourney this afternoon at 3:30 ET?
David, so sorry I'm just now seeing this. I have family from Lincoln! I've been offline for a couple of days, due to a family emergency. What is your BBO name? Maybe we can link up sometime.
Nancy, I am Misterla8. Let me know when you're ready and we can play.
If my family medical issue is resolved and I'm able to play, I already have a partner for the next two Tuesdays with Gavin's games. I'm KCNancy05 on BBO.
Hello all, I live in Dayton, OH and am looking for a partner that wants to develop a partnership based around these methods. I start playing a bit while in grad school in 2015, but didn't really start playing a lot until recently. I have approximately ~400 MP with ~260 being earned since July of last year. I have a few semi-regular partnerships that have implemented some aspects of these methods, but can't attend many of the in-person games around here so it's difficult to build a partnership with more nuanced agreements. I would love to find someone to play online with in the evenings with the goal of eventually playing in some tournaments. I've completed all of the courses flagged with a difficulty of 4 or higher. My BBO name is rbradford4 if you want to add me on there.
Hello all. Also looking for partners who want to practice the whole master series approach and/or develop a partnership or be part of a team for national events. I’ve played with Kathryn above and she’s terrific to play with. I take lessons and play daily. I was halfway to LM in the 90s and won some low level regional events and did well in nationals, took 20 years off, and restarted in 2021 ... been playing almost daily since, finished the LM, currently ~800, and looking to go back to some national events. Let me know if you’re interested … BBO llmandell.
Looking for players to practice the MS 2/1 as taught here by Gavin. I try to play most of the conventions noted in the Expert standard except Gerber (sorry just not my thing).

Hi Reggie, I'm in the UK too - please feel free to email me at irvintiger@yahoo.co.uk and we'll see if we can sort something out. Chris
